How
To Add A Counter To Your
Internet Texoma Web Page
As an Internet Texoma customer, you receive five MB of server
space for a personal Web site. Read on to find out how to put your own
counter on your personal Web page! Please note, you should have some skill
in HTML code and Web page development when trying to implement your counter.
If you have any problems, contact the support desk.
Step 1: Visit http://help.texoma.net/Website.htm
for information regarding Web site construction, including frequently asked
questions (FAQ).
Step 2: Create your Web page.
Step 3: Look below and determine which
counter design you want to use. The HTML code for each counter shown will be
included just below the counter. All you have to do is copy and paste the
code shown into the image location field of your HTML editor, or between the
quotation marks of the HTML code... <img src="red code goes
here">. Remember, the red text is the image source. If you're
using an editor, insert an image and paste the code as the image source, or
location. There is one thing you need to change in the red code: you should
replace "username.dat" in the code below with
the name of YOUR data file, which is your login name. For example, if your
login name is "janedoe", your counter's data file will be "janedoe.dat".

Working with
colors
Your counter's color scheme can be changed many different
ways. The digit color, digit background, and frame color can be
customized to your needs. The following commands below can manipulate your
counter's color scheme. Just paste these commands shown below to the end of
the code of the counter style you choose above. Be sure that you used the
code for frames if you want to specify frame color. The color can be
specified three ways. RGB format (255;255;255), Hex format (FFFFFF), or you
can use the color's name (WHITE). For a list of color names, look at this color
name mapping database.
Frame Color: &frgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &frgb=RRGGBB or &frgb=NAME
Digit Color: &prgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &prgb=RRGGBB or &prgb=NAME
The background has an extra step. You have to specify
the source
color, then specify the new pen color. Here are the commands.
Background: &srgb=000000
AND &prgb=RRR;GGG;BBB or &prgb=RRGGBB
or &prgb=NAME
You can also make any color transparent. Just specify the
color you
want to be transparent (clear) in the command below.
Transparent Color: &trgb=RRR;GGG;BBB
or &trgb=RRGGBB or &trgb=NAME

Displaying Date
And Time
Your counter can also be configured to display the date and time of when
it was loaded. Take a look at the examples below to determine which
type you like.
Display Date
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=A
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=B
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=C
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=D
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=date&dformat=mmddyy&dd=E
Display Time
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=A
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=B
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=C
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=D
http://home.texoma.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi?display=clock&dd=E
The same frame and color properties can be applied to the date and
time just like the counter, so everything on your page can match.
